Donation of Blood and Tissue Samples for Research on HIVAIDS-Related Cancers in Adults

What this Trial Is About

This research collects blood and tissue samples from people living with HIV who are also diagnosed with certain cancers, as well as from people without HIV who have cancers linked to HIV. The aim is to better understand how biological or genetic factors connect HIV and AIDS-related cancers by studying these samples. This observational study is part of the AIDS Malignancy Consortiums effort to support future research through the AIDS and Cancer Specimen Resource ACSR. Participants donate blood once, which is stored in a biobank for research use. They may also donate tissue samples from past or upcoming medical procedures. These biospecimens help researchers explore links between HIV and cancer. This study runs alongside other AMC clinical trials but also accepts donations from those not in those trials. During the study, participants will provide samples and consent to their use in research. The primary measure is the number of biospecimens collected over about ten years. There are no treatments or interventions beyond sample donation. The study involves monitoring how many samples are collected to support ongoing and future research efforts related to HIV and associated cancers.
